OUR PROGRAMMING STRATEGY IN MUGU

Supporting girls’ and boys’ education, especially in areas affected by the earthquakes in 2015

Improving sanitation and hygiene in rural communities

Sustainable management of natural resources

Supporting sustainable income generation

To achieve this, our programme activities include:

Establishment of rural Birth Centres to ensure safe deliveries, as well as professional antenatal and postnatal care

Organise health camps in remote locations

Support of adequate school infrastructure, enrolments, and teacher capacity

Conduct hygiene and sanitation awareness

Setting-up toilets and hand-washing facilities

Develop and implement tailored water supply concepts

Introducing smoke-free stoves and solar energy

Boosting kitchen gardens and small-scale animal husbandry

Establish saving and microcredit groups

Sponsor young, ambitious men and women from remote and poor communities to undertake medical or agricultural training

These initiatives complement and support one another. We provide long-term support to the communities we are working with, always seeking active participation and contribution from the beneficiaries. A team of 25 – 30 front line staff, including project managers, social workers, and health professionals, is based right at our project sites. After three to five years, we hope that families are able to graduate from our support and enjoy greater health, education, sustainability, and most importantly, self-determination.
